Saudi Government BUSTED Incinerating Jamal Khashoggi’s Body In Giant Oven At Residence Of The Saudi General Consulate In Turkey And Then Tried To Cover It Up With A Giant Barbecue

As more details of the case come out, things are not looking good for MbS. According to reports from Turkish media later verified by Al-Jazeera, after he was murdered, Khashoggi’s body was brought to the residence of the Saudi General Consulate in Turkey where it was then incinerated in a giant outdoor oven. The Saudis then barbecued large amounts of meat in order to hide the evidence of human remains:

The body of slain Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi was likely burned in a large oven at the Saudi consulate general’s residence in Istanbul, an Al Jazeera investigation revealed.

New details of the writer’s murder by a Saudi assassination team were reported in a documentary by Al Jazeera Arabic that aired on Sunday.

Turkish authorities monitored the burning of the outdoor furnace from outside the premises as bags believed to be containing Khashoggi’s body parts were transferred to the Saudi consul’s home after he was killed inside the consulate a few hundred metres away.

Al Jazeera interviewed a worker who constructed the furnace who stated it was built according to specifications from the Saudi consul. It had to be deep and withstand temperatures above 1,000 degrees Celsius – hot enough to melt metal.

Large quantities of barbeque meat were grilled in the oven after the killing in order to cover up the cremation of the Saudi writer’s body, Turkish authorities reported.

The burning of Khashoggi’s body took place over a period of three days, Turkish officials said.

Turkish investigators also found traces of Khashoggi’s blood on the walls of the Saudi consul’s office after removing paint that the assassination team applied after killing the Washington Post columnist on October 2.

The documentary was based on interviews with security officials, politicians, and some of Khashoggi’s Turkish friends.

First contact
Turkish intelligence chief Hakan Fidan was the first official to contact the Saudis regarding the whereabouts of Khashoggi, according to the documentary.

In a call with the de facto Saudi leader, Fidan reportedly demanded that Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (also known by his initials MBS) reveal what happened to the journalist.

The call was cut short though when MBS rejected the demand and ended the call over what MBS reportedly perceived as an “unacceptable threat”.

A critic of Saudi Arabia’s powerful Prince Mohammed, Khashoggi entered the consulate in Istanbul to obtain paperwork so he could marry his Turkish fiancee, Hatice Cengiz, who was waiting outside the building.

Riyadh initially insisted Khashoggi had left the consulate alive before changing its account and admitting the journalist was killed in an operation it said was undertaken by “rogue elements”.

Eleven suspects have been indicted for Khashoggi’s murder in Saudi Arabia, which has insisted it would handle the case and refused their extradition to Turkey.

United Nation’s special rapporteur Agnes Callamard, who is leading an international inquiry into the murder, called it “a brutal and premeditated killing, planned and perpetrated by officials of the state of Saudi Arabia”.

The international investigation started in late January and an official report is due in June. (source, source)

This act may take out MbS for good. But will it keep the Saud family in power, or will in empower the Turks more to destroy them in the future? One has yet to tell, but the nature of the murder itself will not be forgotten by Turkey, and since she knows that Saudi Arabia’s goose is cooked, she will certainly look for her opportunity to khazouk her at the most opportune chance she gets.
